Columbus Crew SC doesn’t have time to enjoy the team’s convincing 3-0 Phase 1 restart victory against the Chicago Fire, as the Black & Gold continue their trek of six matches in a little over three weeks on Monday against New York City FC.
Thursday’s win, at a supporter-less MAPFRE Stadium, saw Derrick Etienne Jr. and Gyasi Zardes scoring goals and Darlington Nagbe scoring something that simply calling a “goal” doesn’t give it enough credit. The Fire had its chances on offense, but the Columbus defense held the opponent in check.
